Balboa/Drago Face Off Again (World Cup)

By far the largest sporting event on the globe, the World Cup, is almost here. And a new Russian ad (the World Cup is being held in Russia this time) has both Rocky and Ivan facing off again.

It’s all in good fun.

But not really. The World Cup is serious shit. Very, very serious. It’ll start on Thursday afternoon, with Russia pummeling Saudi Arabia in the opening match.

This scene actually sounds reminiscent of the supposed showdown for real between Drago and Balboa in Creed II, in Balboa’s restaurant. Everything about Creed II sounds good. And once again, here’s hoping it’s another Rocky III as many of us are expecting.
